#BlackLivesMatter #MentalHealthReform

I don’t understand what it must feel like.

I do know what it means have an invisible illness.

Without Major Mental Health Reform, there will continue to be violent Police Officers. This is all I can understand, so I will continue my pursuit to make it known that the you and your loved ones must be protected by non-violent people, mentally sound people.

I will advocate mandatory, thorough, and indefinite psychological evaluation for anyone given the privilege to protect you; whether they are currently holding that honor, or will in the future.

For those disabled, stuck at home, or out of protesting areas,

Consider signing a few petitions for the Families and don’t flinch when you see how much support there already is - donate if you can, send relief packages, reach out to a neighbor so your community feels safe. Reach out to someone you know. Let them know you’re on their side.

If you must share news and spread awareness, don’t forget to remind everyone of the protesters who have remained silent and peaceful, of the protesters cleaning the streets behind the crowd, of the protesters bringing water food and medical supplies to other peaceful protesters, of the protesters protecting Cops who are taking our side.

If you must share news and spread awareness, don’t forget those who have died for the same reasons before it got to this point, don’t forget those who are dying right now or recovering from a lost battle, and don’t forget those who are fighting to protect them and the rights of the rest of us who are disabled, stuck home, or out of protesting area.

Thanks for reading.

Please stay safe. I love you all.
